Re: Saints vs 49ers Game Day Thread
Have to know when to change the protection calls to play center. Maybe Ruiz is struggling with that as a rookie.

Also, I like that Sean drafted two centers with our first pick two years in a row. Not every guard can play center and Payton values players who are versatile. I realize that McCoy wasn't getting the calls right last year and we needed a smart center. We got him. Now we just have to season him a little bit. |

That was his strength at Michigan. His coach said he was right on 99% of the defensive calls he made from center in his three years there. Although, the pro game is a step up and may take a bit to get up to speed.

Re: Saints vs 49ers Game Day Thread
If they simplify the offense it will make the offense worse. As it stands we may not win another game until Brees returns. Some have looking forward to life without Brees. I'm afraid they are going to find out.

In a short week for Kwon Alexander, he was great on yesterday. Flying around out there making plays .. specifically in the screen game. He pops out in this area. Really impressive LB.
Anzalone is all but gone. |

Re: Saints vs 49ers Game Day Thread
Look at the impact he had on Demario Davis. He had one of his best games because of Kwon’s impact.
